The MTBer Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Hi guys! I am desperately looking for 5ml fox float fluid, mine accidentally squirted out when I deflated my fork. I am doing a race this weekend and no shop is able to help me (i should buy a R350 service kit for a rear shox to get it) can anyone help me out?

I think (but do a check) Fox uses 5 weight.
David Marshall Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 The blue float fluid on the air piston is thick. Use gear box oil (80 to 90 wt). See if a garage near you will give you some. I am in Midrand if you want to collect but I am sure you can get closer to Centurion.

I know with the lowers you need suspension spesific oil.
droo Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Synthetic. You can also use Fox Gold 20wt, which works in the lowers on any of their FIT and CTD forks.
raptor-22 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 you can also use Engine oil 15W40 from the service station down the road will do the trick
